Cooper’s diverse and extensive experience in all phases of
real estate management, brokerage, title and the other numerous legal
aspects of real estate, make him well suited to represent his clients
in all the diverse matters that come under the heading of real estate
law. Whether it be a co-op, condo, single family, mixed use or multifamily
purchase or sale, look no further than the 25 plus years of experience
that Scott Cooper possesses. Real Estate matters can involve complex
title issues, or environmental issues such as mold
and lead. The anticipation of what issues will be relevant in
a transaction to a bank, title insurance company, property insurance
company and/or the other parties involved in a real estate transaction
can save both time and money. Feel free to contact Mr. Cooper’s
office for a consultation, free of charge.
Personal Injury Law
If
you or someone you know has suffered from any type of injury, whether
it be work related or occurring on your own time, the first order of
business is to make sure that you receive the proper medical care, to
assure a quick and speedy recovery whenever possible. As this is your
first priority it is our first priority for you. The seasoned doctors
that we can recommend have shown through their work with the hundreds
of people we have directed to them, that proper and immediate medical
intervention can make the difference between a lengthy and unfortunately
not always complete recovery versus an expeditious and complete recovery.
Once such
care has been arranged for, our next priority is too make sure you are
properly compensated for your injuries. Though often times damages at
law, which is the recovery of money for your injuries, seems woefully
inadequate for what you have been through, it is often all that we can
offer after the best medical care possible. You should be compensated
for your unrecovered medical bills, your loss of earnings and the pain
and suffering that not only you have experienced but your loving family
as well. Let SWC, (Scott W. Cooper) Esq. help make sure that you receive
the TLC (Timely & Large Compensation) that you are entitled too.
Auto Accident Law
Auto
accidents are not always as clear as the police or insurance companies
would lead you to believe. Even when it is blatantly evident that the
car that rear ended you was following
to close, you need to protect your rights! Often the police report,
that you have answered honestly, is turned around and used against you,
even if you were the aggrieved party. Or the attitude of your insurance
company, leading you to believe that the only thing that
will happen when you file a claim is an increase in your premiums, rather
than you being properly compensated and defended by the very company
you have been paying those exorbitant premiums to all these years. This
is not even scratching the surface of how you are often treated by the “other” driver’s
insurance company. Auto accidents also take on a special quality as to
the type of personal injury claim that you can make. Often, it is not
good enough for you to have suffered what you subjectively and truly
feel are substantial injuries and/or the inability to go about your “normal” routine
for an extended period of time. You must also meet a “threshold” of
injuries, the definition of which has been interpreted over and over
again by the NY state courts. Add to this insurance companies who refuse
to recognize injuries of any significant level and you are often left
without a fighting chance. Rather than visiting the attorney that sees
you as another number, come to our offices. An objective evaluation,
if not even the final evaluation, is always available to you free of
charge at our offices, your home or at the facility you might unfortunately
currently be at.
Wills, Probate & Estate Planning
It
is always best to start planning for this unfortunate certainty before
it is, in any way, an imminent matter. First, some planning can take
years to implement. In addition, the emotional component of this area
of the law is such that it is best handled when there is no sense of
urgency. There are, however, some very creative formulas that can be
implemented in the area of wills and estate planning in situations where
time is of the essence. Whether it be a simple will or one that involves
insurance and other trusts, we are here to serve, assist and help you.
There are other documents that are just as, if not more, important than
the will document itself. One of these is the living will which reflects
your wishes as to what type of health care and extreme measures should
be invoked if you are in the unfortunate position of being unable to
decide these issues for yourself. Another “advanced directive document”,
as these types of documents are called, is the Health Care Proxy. This
document gives you the opportunity to appoint another to make health
care decisions for you, if you should become unable, and an issue arises
which your living will does not address. This is important because no
matter how detailed a living will is it cannot account for every eventuality.
Finally, there is a Power of Attorney which in essence gives another
individual the right to sign documents on your behalf under special or
all circumstances. There are many, many facets to limit the circumstances
under which such Power of Attorney can be used, and by whom, as tremendous
power over your assets can be taken with such a document.
